Famous Again
The defeat of Quidditch Match put the entire Gryffindor into a low ebb. The energy that was originally planned to continue competing for Quidditch Cup and House Cup suddenly disappeared. Thanks to the fact that Quidditch Match lasted long enough and played evenly with Ravenclaw Team, some people who had doubts and dissatisfaction with the new players were silenced.
Weasley Twins's mood is not high, but they still go to the stadium for training every week regardless of wind or snow.
This series of changes had almost no impact on Albert, and his life in Hogwarts remained basically unchanged.
Within a few days after the competition, something new happened in the school. Pomona·Professor Sprout finally discovered that a pot of Mandrakes was missing from Greenhouse Three.
However, no one knows who took the pot of Mandrakes. Some people think that Peeves did it and are going to throw it into the Great Hall to cheer everyone up.
Administrator Filch is vigorously investigating this matter, trying to seize Peeves's evidence of crime in one fell swoop and drive it out of the castle.
No one connected this incident with the cries in the castle half a month ago, except for Snape. Potions Professor still had a bad temper. He spent a lot of effort but could never find the culprit. Moreover, while preparing potions, Snape discovered that three precious materials were missing from his warehouse.
"Someone is preparing to prepare Polyjuice Potion?"
Snape could tell at a glance what the thief who stole the material wanted to do from the snakeskin fragments of Bicorn Horn and African Tree Snake. As for the lost Runespoor eggs, he did not associate it with Baruffio's Brain Elixir. If someone wanted to become the brain of Troll, he would not stop it.
Albert would like to store some Polyjuice Potion. With this thing, it will be much easier for him to pretend to be someone else in the future. At least he will not have to worry about being discovered when entering the black market.
However, making Polyjuice Potion was a waste of time, and he felt that Snape might also be watching this. After all, he had the idea to draw Snape's attention here.
Time comes to late November, and another Quidditch Match will be held at the end of the month.
The situation was not optimistic. Slytherin Team defeated Hufflepuff Team with an absolute score advantage. Although Hufflepuff's new Seeker Diggory had fought hard, he was still as helpless as a kitten in a snowstorm when facing Slytherin Team's encirclement and suppression.
The victory of the Slytherin school team is undoubtedly not good news for Gryffindor. At least the vast majority of students would rather see Hufflepuff win.
Unfortunately, the sound of cheering could not help Hufflepuff Team win the final victory.
The lead between House Points and Quidditch Match allowed Slytherin to regain the confidence it had lost last year, and it was no less sarcastic towards Gryffindor.
"It's so irritating." Fred and Quill were all bent by him.
"How about we..." George made a tapping motion. He now wished he could give an unforgettable lesson to the Slytherin Team player who was snarling in front of him just now.
"That's a good idea." Li·Jordan narrowed his eyes happily, ready to cause trouble.
"Just don't worry about them." Albert said calmly.
"Don't be like this." Fred said.
"Old Bat is still watching." Albert reminded, "It will be more troublesome to be caught. Besides, it has started to snow."
"Snow Pine Fungus." He reminded.
"Oh, okay."
Seeing that Albert was unwilling to help, Fred and the three of them were a little helpless. Without the brains provided by Albert, it would not be easy to suppress those people quietly.
Although they all like to cause trouble and want to take revenge on those guys, they definitely don't want to be targeted by Snape.
"I just heard that they seemed to be discussing something." After Fred and others left, Shanna sat down opposite Albert, placed a magazine titled "Practical Potions Master" in front of Albert, and said with a smile, "Congratulations."
"Congratulations for what?" Albert was stunned and looked at Shanna in confusion.
"The paper." Shanna reminded, "It's published in the magazine, "Practical Potions Master"."
"Well, it seems I haven't published the paper on it yet." Albert thought for a while and said. He did write one, but he hasn't sent it yet.
"It is indeed your name above, Albert·Anderson." Shanna looked at Albert suspiciously, opened the magazine and turned to Albert's paper, raised his hand and pointed at it.
"Oh, I think I know what's going on." Albert flipped through "Practical Potions Master" and immediately understood what was going on. Apparently someone helped him behind the scenes, and this paper was revised based on his letter.
It seems that this matter was indeed mentioned.
However, Albert doesn't care much about these things. After all, he already has a lot of reputation.
If "Practical Potions Master" paid royalties, perhaps it would be more enthusiastic.
Unfortunately, they don't pay royalties.
This magazine is an academic publication jointly organized by a group of Potions Masters who want to expand their influence. To put it bluntly, it is something that a certain small circle plays to build their reputation.
Of course, it is quite authoritative in terms of Potions.
After all, Potions in "Practical Potions Master" is indeed very practical, so the reputation of the publishers in it is actually very good.
However, Albert himself has no intention of going into this field, so he takes it very lightly.
However, this attitude is unusual in the eyes of Shanna. She felt that few people could face it so calmly.
At this time, someone else came over and placed a magazine in front of them.
Albert and Shanna, who were chatting casually, both raised their heads to look at the person coming.
"Your paper has been selected." Katrina pointed to "Charm Innovation" on the table.
"Is the new issue out?" Albert asked doubtfully. He remembered that he had also ordered this magazine.
"It came out the day before yesterday." Katrina said, "Congratulations, you have successfully published a paper in two academic journals, "Transfiguration Today" and "Charm Innovation". I dare say this is unprecedented in Hogwarts."
Shanna stayed in shock for a while, then smiled at Katrina and said, "In fact, you don't know, Anderson also published a paper in "Practical Potions Master", and that magazine is here."
"Maybe you can surpass Dumbledore and become another legend." Katrina muttered, "Isobel said that the principal used to be a very powerful genius."
"I'll be embarrassed if you praise me like this." Albert Although he said this, there was no trace of embarrassment on his face.
"Anyway, congratulations." Katrina rolled his eyes at Albert, and then said before turning around and leaving, "By the way, Professor Flitwick is looking for you, probably for this reason."
